A Tesla Model S was driving with Autopilot when it got into a bus crash in Germany

A Tesla Model S driver in Germany got into an accident while
Autopilot was activated, but the semi-autonomous feature may not
be to blame.

The Tesla Model S crashed into a tourist bus in Germany, slightly
injuring the driver in the process, the AP reported. The 29 people on the bus
were unharmed in the accident.

German police are saying that the 50-year-old driver is blaming
Autopilot for the crash, according to the AP. The Model S
rear-ended the bus on the highway.

However, a Tesla spokesperson told Business Insider that
Autopilot was "functioning properly" at the time of the accident,
and that Tesla has spoken to the customer who confirmed "his use
of Autopilot was unrelated to the accident."

Tesla is still being investigated by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration for a fatal Model S crash that occurred in
May.

Joshua Brown, a 40-year-old Canton, Ohio, resident, was driving
his 2015 Tesla Model S in Williston, Florida, when the car passed
under the trailer, with the bottom of the trailer
striking the windshield. The Tesla then drove off the road
and smashed through two fences before hitting a power
pole. The airbags did not deploy.

Tesla wrote in a blog post that
the Autopilot system did not notice "the white side of the
tractor trailer against a brightly lit sky, so the brake was not
applied."

Tesla is also investigating a crash that occurred in China
while Autopilot was activated. The car hit a vehicle parked
half off the road. There were no injuries caused by the crash.
